River was low and clear. Access to the water is good downstream of footpath. Started fishing at 2:30pm opposite the island and had 2 chub. It then went quiet till about 7pm and then had 2 more chub and 1 barbel about 6lb. Chub were between 3-4lb and all fish were taken on pellet and feeder. Close parking and excellent service from WUF.

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

2nd day on Courtfield, we caught 7 barbel to 10lb 2oz and 12 chub to over 4lb using feeder/pellet tactics.

Another hard day in bright sunshine. One barbel and two chub before 11am and then nothing till 4pm. Caught another 8 barbel between us from three different swims towards the bottom of the stretch. All fish fell to pellet. Best fish about 8lb.

9 Barbel, 2 Chub

Fished top end early morning before it got too hot and fisherman on the far bank moved in. The lower part of the beat did not look promising in the low water and bright sunny conditions. Usual feeder method and pellet baits, all fish in good condition.

Weather very hot and river running clear. 2 chub one on float one on feeder. Very hard going.

2 Chub

Thank you for your quick response when I reported that other people were fishing. The land owner came to see us and said he would putting up fishing notices. So hopefully this will put an end to the problem.

Hard day on low river in hot bright sunshine with no bites until late afternoon. Perseverance paid off with too late barbel to 6lb from the croy and 16 chub to 4lb in two hours before dusk from faster water in one of the new swims below. Chub on sweetcorn and barbel on pellet.

Difficult day, river very low with a green algal tinge. Very bright and hot day which didn't help. Managed to have a barbel and 5 chub between 2 rods, all to feeder and pellet tactics. Be prepared for a good walk and be careful of hidden holes along the bank.

A beautiful sunny day with the river running ever lower and clearer. Unfortunately, a stiff downstream breeze made float fishing very difficult so the feeder was the only real option. Another lovely day out in wonderful surroundings and enough fish to top it off.

First time fishing the Wye and we had a great day. Not many accessible pegs so started the day on the first beach swim and not much action for the first couple of hours. Decided to try next beach section (pebble) and had a barbel first cast. We continued to catch regularly throughout the day on cage feeder and pellets. Ended up with 10 barbel and 8 chub and also lost a few, will be back.
